It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Taplow bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Taplow conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

As long as the property lawyer is on the lender approved list, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Taplow may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection.
